This is an especially nice example as it still retains much of its original silver frosted finish and it has a mint blade. The green leather grip is in mint condition. Aluminium customs style crossguard and pommel are in fine condition. Near mint blade by Horster Solingen. The scabbard still retains all green leather and it is fitted with steel scabbard fittings with a silver frosted finish, most customs daggers had this finish to the scabbard fittings but normally it is worn away.
